Going in Style: Original vs Remake - Did we have an afternoon nap?

Three retirees. One desperate bank robbery. And a comedy classic that was remade for a new generation.In this episode of Mart and Trev’s The Deja Review, we take a look at the charming crime comedy Going in Style, starring George Burns, Art Carney, and Lee Strasberg, before comparing it with the modern remake Going in Style, featuring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Alan Arkin.The original 1979 film told the story of three lifelong friends who decide to rob a bank after retirement leaves them struggling to get by. Nearly forty years later, the remake updated the story with a new cast, modern humour, and a fresh take on the idea that sometimes crime really can pay… especially when you’ve got nothing left to lose.Mart and Trev break down the performances, the comedy, the heist itself, and the differences between the two versions, asking whether the remake captures the heart of the original or simply retells the story with a modern twist.Does the 1979 classic still pull off the perfect retirement plan…or does the 2017 remake steal the show?Sometimes the best plan… is going out in style.Two long time friends, one podcast.This is The Deja Review.Enjoy the episode and remember to like, follow and tell your friends.As always a massive thank you to Little Foil Fish for our theme tune - ⁠ @LittleFoilFish ⁠Mart & TrevSubscribe to our Podcast - ⁠ @TheDejaReview TIMESTAMP00:00 Introduction to Deja Review01:11 Exploring the Original 'Going in Style'15:52 Diving into the 2017 Remake29:10 Comparing the Original and the Remake33:03 Final Thoughts and RecommendationsKeywords#GoingInStyle #morganfreeman #michaelcaine #alanarkin #ComedyMovies #heistmovies #movieremakes #classicmovies #thedejareview
